Chapter 6: Friends Reunited

(I got the title of this chapter from the website.)


Back at Grimmauld Place…

Sirius and Remus turned to the three teens. "Ok, nice cover but where were you really?"

Harry looked at Hermione and Ron whose expressions said 'You tell them'. "Well, last night I had a dream, about the Charmed Ones. They were summoning a dead person and we went to see them so I could see mum and dad."

Sirius and Remus looked at him with wide eyes. "You went all the way to San Francisco to summon Lily and James. Did you see them?" Remus asked. Both adults forgot about them going missing, they wanted to know about Lily and James now.

"You could say that. And we have a surprise for you two." The two adults gave them a look of confusion. "Ok, come out now." Harry called to apparently no one.

"Harry, who are you spea…" Sirius was cut short by the appearance of Lily and James in the kitchen. Sirius looked from one to the other, as was Remus. "J…J…James? L…Lily? Is it really you?"

James nodded. He looked to Remus, who gave them a look filled with hate.

"They're death eaters. Lily and James are dead."

"Remus, it's really us. How else would we know that Sirius is an illegal dog animagus and that you are a werewolf?" Lily said.

"Wormtail told you. You're not them."

"Remus, I think it is them." Sirius said.

"Do you have any proof it's them, no!" He shouted.

"We do have proof." James shouted back. "How else could we change into Prongs and Bambi?" This remark earned him a glare from Lily.

"I thought we agreed that we didn't use nicknames for me without putting them past me?"

"Fine. Prongs and Clip." Lily sighed, shook her head slightly and smiled at the name, but then James and Lily both had a glint in their eyes as a magnificent stag and a beautiful doe appeared where they had just stood. They transformed back and all the hate had disappeared from Remus' eyes.

"James. Lily, I'm so sorry." And all four adults embraced each other.

Harry looked on smiling. "Looks like the Marauders are all back together again."

"Harry, what about…" Hermione started.

"Pettigrew is no Marauder. He is a lying, little traitor and never deserved the title of a Marauder." Harry spat with venom in his voice.

When the adults had let go of each other, Sirius asked the obvious question. "How are you here?"

"You know about Whitelighters?" Sirius and Remus nodded. They had all been taught in their seventh year. "Well, me and Lily are both Whitelighters. Lily is Harry, Ron and Hermione's and I am yours, both of yours." Sirius and Remus looked confused. "Look, you're going to be taking on Voldemort soon, and we have to be there to guide you, as Lily will with the kids." They nodded, but suddenly Sirius looked confused.

"I thought that Whitelighters didn't age? You two have aged since, well, that Halloween."

"Yes, but there are certain types of Whitelighters who age until they have to go to their charges. And we are still allowed to use magic, not just our Whitelighters powers. Leo managed to get our wands from Godric's Hollow. Just need to practice a little and we'll be as good, maybe even better, as we were 16 years ago. Well hopefully better than 16 years ago." Lily said, with a little glint in her eye that Harry had never seen before.

"I'm just so glad that your back." Sirius told them. "So, do you want to know everything that happened between, well then, and now?"

"Sirius, you can talk about that night. We're not dead anymore, well technically we are, but we're here so people will think we're alive. And we know everything that has gone on. We were able to watch everything from up 'there'." James used the same motion as Leo sometimes did when he referred to the Whitelighters realm.

Sirius' face fell. "So you know about…"

"Azkaban. Yeah, but if its any consolation, we, meaning me, helped you escape. Well, kind of."

Sirius looked at him. "How?"

"Remember when the Weasleys won that prize draw?" Sirius nodded. "Well, before it happened, we changed all of the parchment to Arthur's name, so they would win and because we could see the possibilities up 'there', we knew that they would take a holiday and Ron would take Scabbers, or that lying little rat as we have grown accustomed to calling him, and you'd recognise him." James tried to explain, but seeing Sirius, and everyone else except Lily's faces looked confused, he went into a deeper explanation of what happened since they died.

"Oh, and I think you owe me a very big thank you for last year.. I saved you from falling in the veil too. So come on, suck up or I might go up there and reverse it." James winked and smiled.

Remus thought to himself that James was as full of himself as he had been all those years ago. Obviously Sirius thought the same thing because he gave Remus a look that just said what he had been thinking.

But then Sirius asked, "So you moved Lucius behind me?" James nodded. "Thank you, oh great and wondrous Prongs. I am not worthy." Sirius got down on his knees and started to mock hail him.

"I know, I don't know how you ever survived without me all these years." James said.

"Neither do I sometimes." Sirius looked uneasy as he remembered Azkaban. James could also see this and changed the subject swiftly.

"So what do you say we take a trip down to the ministry to prove the innocence of my best friend then?" Sirius' eyes filled with mischief again.

"I say that would be a great idea, Prongs. But how do we explain how you are suddenly alive again?"

"Well, we just go in there, and if they want to give me veritaserum, then I will more than willingly take it to prove the innocence of my best friend." James said. Harry could have sworn he saw a tear well up in his godfather's eyes as he pulled James into a manly hug. "Cummon, Padfoot are you getting soft in your old age? Or should I call you Snuffles?" James laughed at Sirius' face to his 'code' name. "Joke Padfoot, just a joke. Moony, would you like to come see the Minister's face when he sees me and Sirius?"

"Why I'd love to, Prongs." The glint of mischief returning to Remus' eyes as they were when they were in Hogwarts.

"Well then should we get going? Lils, are you coming?" James asked.

"No, I think I'll stay here with Harry, Hermione and Ron. Catch up on what I've missed. Just tell 'em about me." Lily said to her husband. He nodded and kissed her. James, Sirius and Remus walked out of the room to floo to the Ministry. James wasn't about to orb into a public place with a 'murderer'. Sirius was going to have to change form until they got the basics out of the way.

Lily turned to the teenagers. "So, I've seen it all from up there but now I want to hear about it from you. How did you all meet?"

Harry sighed. If she wanted to go through all of the details, it would take a while. "Well, I met Ron when I was trying to get to platform 9 and ¾, Mrs. Weasley told me and we got talking on the train. Hermione came in looking for Neville's toad but we weren't really friends with her until Halloween. There was this mountain troll that the defence teacher let in and we saved it from her." Harry told her.

"I remember when I tried to get onto the platform. I got some help from another first year though, but he got a little arrogant, well I say little but it was more annoyingly arrogant, on the train when he met up with his oldest friend, who was more arrogant." Lily smiled.

"Am I correct in guessing that was Dad and Sirius?" Harry said, grinning.

"Yes. We sat in the same compartment and Remus came in because everywhere else was full. And that's how they became friends. Although your father was arrogant, as well as Sirius for that matter, I stayed friends with Remus from that moment. And when James and I became prefects, I started to see a different side to him. And Halloween of our fifth year, he asked me out at the Halloween ball and, as they say, the rest is history."

"Did you really hate dad before you were prefects then?" Harry asked.

"Not hate as such, but I only saw a side of him that was a show off, big headed. But I didn't hate him." She considered some facts for a moment. "Well, not as much as those three hated Severus Snape and the whole of Slytherin. What's so funny?" Lily asked Harry, Hermione and Ron, who were all laughing.

"I think it tradition for all Gryffindors to hate Snape. I know everyone from our year does. And the Ravenclaws and Hufflepuffs. And I know that everyone hates Slytherin." Harry told her. Lily smiled. She had missed so much, sure she had watched it, but nothing beat being there WITH your child.

"So what happened in your first year?" Lily asked them. They all sighed. This was going to be one hell of a long conversation.


Ahh, now that they know that they're alive, how long before they get to witness an infamous James Potter and Lily Evans fight? Not long, considering who it is! Yayness, this is my longest chapter to date, I'm so happy happy happy now, lol! And remember, review, review, review! Well just one each at least?
